Neapolitan


 Neapolitan is here! Strawberry pink, vanilla, and chocolate brown, softly shading together in a pretty hand dyed thread.

I will have to wait to tat something with it, though, until my finger is healed. I was stringing beads onto thread with one of those needles that open all the way down the middle instead of just at the end. Well, I will never use that type of needle ever, ever again! Because the needle is so razor thin from being split into 2 sections like that, it cut deeply into the tip of my finger. The cut was still painful 3 days later and looked black and scary, so I got medical attention for it. Fortunately it is not infected, it will just take time and care to heal.

I did manage to finish the "links" for the collaboration project with my wire artist friend, but will tell more about that in a future post. It's difficult to type with one finger bandaged.
Tatted "links" for future earring project

Ow, hope your finger heals soon. A hazard worth knowing about, thanks for the warning. Love your new thread, scrumptious.

The color looks very fun especially in this hot weather :) Sorry about you finger, will stay away from those kind of bead threaders!

Your colorway is beautiful. Nice and summery.

So sorry about the finger. I use one kind of folded thin wire, never had a scratch from it. But since I make sometimes very small picots, I managed to sting me with quite deep the 0,5 crochet hook (the 14 USA starndard). Removing it was a torture, 2 days I felt the pain, tatting was a killer. Who can stop us?
I think you will still use this threader, some time later. But very carefuly. ;)

Thank you for all the well wishes! My finger is getting better.

Corina, sorry to hear about your accident with the tiny crochet hook. I agree that we must be careful with our tools!
